First steps in Astrology, by Liz Greene

Virgo - The Virgin

August 23rd to September
22nd

The symbol of Virgo the Maiden was chosen
by astrologers to represent people born under this sign because there
is a cool, clear quality to the way that a typical Virgo person thinks.

Virgo people are usually very gentle and quiet,
and love small animals and growing things. Many Virgos love to do detailed
things and are talented at crafts like dressmaking. They will work hard
to create something which is beautiful and useful at the same time. People
born under the sign of Virgo are often happy to be alone, providing they
know that they are needed and appreciated by others. In fact, the most
important thing to Virgo people is service. They are always ready to help
others, and are very sympathetic to their friend's problems. Often they
are shy and sensitive, but deep down are generous with their love and
their talents.

Virgo is an earth sign, like Taurus and Capricorn.
If you are a Virgo, you will know how good you feel when you have been
able to help somebody else in some way. Also you will get great pleasure
from making something with your own hands. You will probably find that
as you grow up the kind of work you do will become very important to you,
for you need to feel you are contributing something worthwhile to life.
Don't ever feel that noisier, bossier people are better than you, because
your special gentleness and quietness is much needed in this world.
